Is Cannabis Addictive?

Some people believe cannabis isn't addictive like some other drugs and that you
can't be physically dependent on it. While it isn't common for people to feel as
physically sick as someone stopping some other drugs, many people find the first
week or two after cutting down smoking cannabis can be unpleasant. For some
people it's bad enough to go back to smoking. One of the most common reasons
people relapse at this stage is not being able to sleep.

You are most likely to become dependent on cannabis if you use it
every day. A compulsive user feels that he has to have it and spends
much of his life seeking, buying and using it. He cannot stop even
when other important parts of his life (family, school, work) suffer.

Research has yet to unveil complete information on the addiction of
cannabis and its effects. Reason being that use of cannabis even for
research purposes is banned in almost all countries in the world.

However, in more liberal countries such as the United Kingdom a
licence for growing marijuana is merely a matter of bureaucracy as
long as it is for botanical or scientific reasons. Hence the phrase
"controlled drug".
